+## Launch prompt
+
+`/wgl-capture` — "The plugin is asking for access to other applications but works
+fine when I decline. It just shouldn't"
+
+## Pre-state
+
+- Branch `main`, clean, pushed. Follows capture sessions 0050 (#57), 0051
+  (no-actionable), 0052 (#58 + scroll-sync dup).
+- Tracker `benstull/vscode-cowriting-plugin` (host `git.benstull.org`).
+
+## Arc
+
+1. Claimed tracked-lite session ID **0053**.
+2. **Investigated** the macOS Automation/Apple-Events trigger (Explore): the
+   extension's own source has **no** AppleScript/`osascript`/automation calls; the
+   probable origin is **`@cline/sdk`/`@cline/core`** during agent activation
+   (likely local Claude Code hub-discovery), which falls back gracefully when
+   denied — matching "works fine when declined." Framed as a lead, not a settled
+   root cause.
+3. **Sized** `type/bug` (declared defect: unwanted OS permission request).
+   Drafted `issues/spurious-automation-permission-prompt.md` (working tree only,
+   secrets scanned) with repro steps + expected/actual + the upstream caveat.
+4. **Operator set priority P1** (trust/launch-optics over the harmless functional
+   impact); updated the WSJF line accordingly.
+5. **Filed #59.** capture-issues.sh `--type` rejects `bug` (known #124 taxonomy
+   gap), so filed with `--type task` then swapped the label to `type/bug` via the
+   Gitea API (deleted type/task, added type/bug) — verified `['priority/P1',
+   'type/bug']` (INV-2 holds).
+   → https://git.benstull.org/benstull/vscode-cowriting-plugin/issues/59
+
+## Cut state
+
+- **#59** filed (bug, P1), label corrected to exactly `type/bug`.
+- Draft `issues/spurious-automation-permission-prompt.md` left uncommitted in the
+  content repo for the Author to publish (INV-8).
+- Session repo `vscode-cowriting-plugin`: clean `main`, no commits this session.
+
+## Deferred decisions
+
+_None — operator set the priority directly and approved the framing._
+
+## Operator plate
+
+- One issue filed: **#59** (spurious macOS automation prompt, bug, **P1**).
+- The cause is likely upstream in `@cline/sdk` — the fix may be a config/flag or
+  dependency update, not necessarily this repo's code.
+- Reminder: bug capture needs the file-as-task-then-relabel workaround until
+  plugin #124 (capture can't type bugs) is fixed.
+
+## Next session prompt
+
+`/goal` — operator to direct. Standing candidate (from 0050): brainstorm a
+Solution Design for **#57** (review-pane behavior on document switch). Open work:
+**#59** (automation prompt, bug P1 — may be upstream), #58 (proposal word-diff,
+story P2), #32 (scroll-sync, P3), OQ-2 (F11 graduation), #35 (repo rename), #40
+(undo provenance, P3), #54 (undo E2E infra).
